TVs
You richly deserve some TLC for making it through another brutal, pandemic-plagued winter. How 'bout the perfect TV to kick back with your favorite shows, movies and more? Amazon's got you covered with the TCL 55-inch Class 4-Series 4K Smart Roku TV, on sale this weekend for an awesome $350 (was $600).
This set's huge 4K display features Ultra HD resolution that makes colors vivid and bright and blacks that are dependably deep and dark (not murky and gray). Also on board: Roku, putting Oscar contenders, your favorite games and the best streaming TV series right at your fingertips.
"I am not super tech-savvy by any stretch, but I was able to connect all the dots, and the result is a fabulous TV, cable, streaming experience," raved a delighted five-star reviewer. "Easy setup, quick linking of my phone (second remote) and cable box and my streaming services (only two). The sound and picture can be adjusted (like any TV, really) and I chose a movie theater sound, which is fabulous." Time for an upgrade, don't you think?

Headphones, earbuds, smartwatches and tablets
On-ear headphones typically offer a more immersive audio experience than earbuds, plus some people find them a lot more comfortable as well. Well, JBL's Tune 510BT are better than most. How? Let us count the ways. They offer the brand's signature Pure Bass sound and have wireless Bluetooth 5.0 streaming. Then there's their workhorse of a battery, which will give you up to 40 hours of listening time on a single charge. How about some voice assistance? Just press the the button on the ear cup and get Siri or Google on the job. Need more convincing? Well, they're now just $30, a 40 percent drop from their usual price!
“These are a very good headphone, and I don't just mean based on the price,” said one shopper. “These are an all-around great headphone! I had Beats for four years that just fell apart. Searched on a budget and decided on these, and I don't feel like I am sacrificing at all. Very comfortable. Not tight on my head at all. I travel on airplanes twice a month, so I wear these for hours on end. No earache or head pressure. I also like that the controls aren't directly on the side, so when I doze on a plane the volume doesn't get adjusted or pause is hit.... Sound is crisp, bass is bumping, volume is perfect — no complaints!”

Fans are loving it, too. One satisfied gamer gushed, "Absolute masterpiece...I love this game so much I literally can’t stop playing." Pretty high praise, if you ask us!

Great news: This first-generation Echo Show 8 smart-home hub is currently marked down 36 percent, to just $70 — it originally sold for $110!

This Echo Show packs exceptional sound quality into its small design. The screen resolution is very nice for the photo displays.... The Echo 8 is actually small enough to use on a nightstand and it has a night mode which will show the clock alone on a dark screen.”

If vacuuming is your least favorite household chore, you've probably considered investing in a robovac before. They're typically on the pricier side; you often need to shell out hundreds of dollars to get one that actually works. But luckily, there's an affordable robot vacuum on Amazon that customers say "outperforms" more expensive models.
Normally priced at $300, the OKP Life K2 robot vacuum is currently on sale for just $113 with on-page coupon — a fraction of the price of comparable vacuums. It's packed with plenty of features that make it stand out, like its four cleaning modes that include a spot-clean setting and an option that focuses on the edges of the room. The brushless design is especially great for pet owners, since there are no bristles that would inevitably get tangled with fur. Reviewers are especially impressed with the vacuum's battery life, which extends up to 100 minutes. And if it runs out of battery in the middle of a job, it'll automatically go back to its charging base.
But the best part about this robot vacuum is how well it cleans up tough messes — everything from food crumbs to cat litter. "I have found this robot to be so effective that we don't even bother with manually cleaning now. Our floors are spotless!" one customer wrote. "[It] has even cleaned spaces such as under the bed and tables that we haven't reached in years. We are sooooo pleased with this purchase!"

“We use it a lot!" one shopper related. "No complaints, I’ve had it for about two months. Works properly, and super easy to clean. What I love most is the absence of fry smell when you’d normally fry something at home."

Are your teeth looking a little worse for wear these days? If whitening strips are not your thing — some folks find them irritating, others just aren't into bleach — we've got some good news, and a great sale.
Cali White Activated Charcoal and Organic Coconut Oil Toothpaste is a top-rated bestseller on Amazon, with more than 23,000 five-star reviews. Billed as "Nature’s whitening toothpaste," it's dentist-approved for brightening your chompers. Surprising it doesn't contain fluoride or peroxide. Instead, it boasts activated charcoal, a natural cleanser. For a limited time, you can score a tube of Cali White at a discount of more than 60 percent — down from $20 to $7.
One happy customer wrote: “I love a good cup of coffee and really love a good glass of red wine. I’ve used every product out there and had great results with many, but nothing like this. My teeth aren’t just whiter, they also feel dentist-clean every time I brush, and [this] keeps my mouth feeling clean throughout the day. I will never use anything else again.”

You might not know the name Satina, but this under-the-radar label makes Amazon’s No. 1 bestselling leggings. Compared to premium leggings from brands like Lululemon, for which you can pay upwards of $98, this pair is a major steal. Right now, the very same Satina High-Waisted Leggings that have climbed their way to the top of the Amazon charts are 25 percent off — available for as low as $15.
Made of a super-soft “buttery” fabric that's thick and opaque, Satina High-Waisted Leggings fit and flatter all body types (according to reviewers). They're available in one-size/plus and one-size/regular. One five-star reviewer wrote: “I can’t get over how soooffffttttt these leggings are. Usually, leggings that are soft are a little too warm. These are great quality and feel silky smooth on my skin, keep me warm, but are also breathable. I’ve worn these alone with just a top, and have also worn them as a base layer under my jeans for a trip that I recently went on. The quality of these leggings exceeds the price. I was worried about them being one size, but they fit me perfectly....”

Masks are as important as ever to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, and the CDC specifically recommends you wear KN95 masks in high-risk situations (say, on public transportation) to protect yourself from transmission. We found a 50 pack of the Lement KN95 Face Masks on sale this weekend for $17 (down from $38)!
These KN95 face masks are made of two layers of non-woven cloth, two layers of melt-blown fabric, and one layer of hot air cotton. Soft elastic stretchable ear loops help eliminate pressure on the ears, so you can stay safe and comfy.
"The package came vacuum sealed with each mask individually packaged. It’s an A+ from me. And I finally found masks that don’t pull my ears down, making it painful. The masks fit nicely (no pressure on the face), cover perfectly and I’m able to speak normally without having to pull the mask away from my mouth. Breathing? No problem whatsoever! Happy with my purchase!" one Amazon reviewer wrote.
